Description of the Related Art For example, when one of a plurality of separators imitating cooking utensils such as real pots and frying pans is placed on a main body imitating a real gas stove like a gas stove toy, Actions peculiar to the form or appearance of the separated body, for example, to generate a sound similar to a cooking sound generated when stir-fry cooking or simmering cooking, and give the user of the gas range toy more entertainment. A simulated play toy that has been made is known.

FIG. 5 shows a conventional example of such a simulated play toy. The main body 10 imitating a cooking device such as a gas stand has two
A gas port 11 is provided, and each of the gas ports 11 has two types of notches 12A, 12 extending in three directions at equal intervals.
B is provided. One notch 12A has a semicircular shape, and the other notch 12B has a slit shape.

The cutouts 12A and 12B of the main body 10 are provided with switches 13A and 13B which are turned on when pressed. Inside the main body 10, a voice generation circuit (including a speaker) that generates a voice simulating a cooking sound in response to the operation of both switches is provided, and each switch 13A, 1
Corresponding to 3B, different types of cooking sounds, for example, sounds of stir-fried foods and sounds of stewed foods are selectively generated.

On the other hand, a separating body (not shown) imitating a cooking utensil to be placed on the gas port 11 of the main body 10 is formed with a fitting protrusion which can be fitted into only one of the above-mentioned notches. . For example, at the bottom of the separator that imitates a frying pan,
A protrusion that fits in the notch 12A but does not fit in the notch 12B is provided, and a protrusion that fits in the notch 12B but does not fit in the notch 12A is provided at the bottom of the pan-shaped separator. Keep it.

In such a simulated play toy 10, when the protrusion presses the switch 13A by fitting the former separator into the gas port 11, the sound generation circuit produces the sound of roasting and the latter. When the protrusion presses the switch 13B by fitting the separation body in the gas port 11, the sound of the cooked food is generated from the sound generation circuit. That is, the cooking sound suitable for the cooking utensil is generated from the main body. The knob L provided on the front surface of the main body 10 is interlocked with a power switch (not shown) of a power supply circuit that supplies power to the above-described switches 12A and 12B and the sound generation circuit. Power is supplied to each part by rotating.

[0007] In addition, a state in which a pseudo cooked product imitating the material to be cooked is put inside the separated body imitating a pan or a frying pan is shown and played.

[0008]

However, the above-mentioned conventional simulated play toy has the following drawbacks. (A) The operation of aligning the protrusion on the bottom of the separator with the notch of the gas port was troublesome. (B) Since the notch is provided at the gas port of the main body and the projection is provided at the bottom of the separator, the molding is complicated and the cost is high. (C) The type of cooking sound to be generated is determined by the type of cutout of the gas port, but since the number of types of cutouts that can be provided in a narrow gas port is about two types, many cooking sounds are generated. It was difficult. That is, it was not possible to make the simulated play toy perform various kinds of motions. (D) Although a pseudo cooked food is put in the inside of the separator to play, it does not move in conjunction with the operation (generation of cooking sound) and lacks in fun.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to perform a simulation game in which the operation required for the operation is simple, the cost is low, and various kinds of operations can be performed.

[0020]

Next, the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a schematic circuit diagram showing one embodiment of the simulated toy of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a main body in the same embodiment, and FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a separating body in the same embodiment. Is.

As shown in FIG. 2, the main body 10A is configured to show a cooking device such as a gas stand, and its gas port 11A is provided with contacts T1 and T2 which will be described later.

3 (A) and 3 (B) show a state in which a separating body 20 configured to show a cooking utensil such as a pan and a frying pan is viewed from below the bottom part, and the bottom part will be described later. A resistor 21 is provided. Separation body 20 to main body 1
When placed on the gas port 11A of 0A, the resistor 21 of the separator 20 contacts the contacts T1 and T2 to conduct electricity.
The shape and size of are set.

As shown in FIG. 1, the main body 10A comprises a discriminating means 14, a control means 16, and an operating means 18.

The discriminating means 14 is a common power source V of the main body 10A.
The first contact element T1 connected to cc and the reference resistance R
The second contact T2 is grounded to the ground level via L. Therefore, when the resistor 21 of the separator 20 is brought into contact with both contacts T1 and T2, the power supply voltage V
Since cc is divided by the resistance value Zt of the resistor 21 and the reference resistance RL, a detection voltage Vi corresponding to the resistance value Zt is generated at the second contact T2.

The comparator N1 inputs the first reference voltage Vref1 divided by the resistors R1 and R2 to the non-inverting input side and the detection voltage Vi to the inverting input side. Similarly, the comparator N2 inputs the second reference voltage Vref2 divided by the resistors R3 and R4 to the non-inverting input side and the detection voltage Vi to the inverting input side. Note that R5 is a resistor that stabilizes the output level of the comparator N1, and R6 and R7 are also resistors that stabilize the output level of the comparator N2.

Therefore, when the detection signal Vi falls below the reference voltages Vref1 and Vref2, respectively, the comparator N
The outputs of 1 and N2 are at "L" level, and when the detection signal Vi exceeds the reference voltages Vref1 and Vref2, respectively, the outputs of the comparators N1 and N2 are at "H" level.

The gates N3 and N4 of the control means 16 are EX
-It is an OR gate. Since one input end of the gate N3 is always fixed to the power supply voltage Vcc, that is, the "H" level, it serves as an inverter for inverting the output of the comparator N1. On the other hand, the gate N4 is connected to the comparator N
The exclusive OR of the outputs of 1 and N2 is obtained. When both outputs match, "L" level is output, and when they do not match, "H" level is output.

The output of the gate N3 is the switching means 17A.
Is input to The switch means 17A includes resistors R8 and R
9, R10 and transistors Q1 and Q2. When the "H" level is input from the gate N3 to the resistor R8, the transistor Q1 is turned on, and the resistor R8 is turned on.
A current flows through the bias circuit composed of 9 and R10 to turn on the transistor Q2. If the output of the gate N3 is at "L" level, the transistor Q2 is kept in the OFF state.

On the other hand, the output of the gate N4 is also input to the switch means 17B similar to the switch means 17A. The switch means 17B is composed of resistors R11, R12, R13 and transistors Q3, Q4. The operation is similar to that of the switch means 17A, and the gate N4
When the "H" level is input to the resistor R11 from, the transistor Q4 is finally turned on. If the output of the gate N4 is at "L" level, the transistor Q4 holds the OFF state.

The operating means 18 is provided with voice generators N5 and N6, and both voice generators N5 and N6 are supplied with "H" level and "L" level voltages by turning on / off the transistors Q2 and Q4. The operation is controlled by being given. The voice generators N5 and N6, when given an "H" level signal, output a predetermined voice signal to the voice generating circuit 19
Give to. The voice generation circuit 19 generates a voice by amplifying the voice signal and giving it to a speaker (not shown).

As shown in FIG. 2, the resistance value Zt of the resistor 21 provided in the separator 20 is set to a different value depending on the type of cooking utensil. For example, when two types of separators 20 are provided, the resistance value of each resistor 21 is set to two types of resistance values RL and RH (provided that RL <RH).

On the other hand, for the reference comparison voltages Vref1 and Vref2, the resistor 21 having the resistance values RL and RH is the contact point T of the main body 10A.
The voltage division ratios of the resistors R1 to R4 are set so that the detection voltage Vi generated in the reference resistor RL when connected to the resistors 1 and T2 has the relationship shown in Table 1. That is, with respect to the detection voltage Vi when the resistor 21 having the resistance value RL is connected, Vref2 <Vi <Vref1 is set. On the other hand, with respect to the detection voltage Vi when the resistor 21 having the resistance value RH is connected, Vref1 <Vi is set.

[Table 1]

Since the resistor 21 varies depending on the uniformity of its resistivity and the difference in volume (thickness), the detection voltage Vi also varies. Therefore, it is necessary to set the value of each constant so that the relational expression of the detection voltage and the reference voltage is satisfied even if there is the above-mentioned variation.

Next, the operation will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2 and Table 1. The resistor 21 is attached to the contacts T1 and T2 of the main body 10A.
Is not connected, that is, when the contact is in the open state, the detection voltage Vi is grounded via the reference resistor RL, so that the “L” level is input to both comparators N1 and N2. To do. Therefore, since the outputs of both comparators are both at the "H" level, the outputs of the gates N3 and N4 are both at the "L" level, so that the sound generator N5.
N6 is inactive, and the voice generation circuit 19 does not generate voice.

The resistance value RL is applied to the contacts T1 and T2 of the main body 10A.
When the resistor 21 is connected, Vref2 <Vi <V
Since it becomes ref1, the output of the comparator N1 becomes "H" level and the output of the comparator N2 becomes "L" level. Therefore, the gate N3 becomes "L" level and the gate N4 becomes "H" level, so that only the audio generator N6 is provided with "H" level. As a result, the voice generation circuit 19 causes the voice generator N6 to
The sound is generated according to the sound signal output from the.

The resistance value RH is applied to the contacts T1 and T2 of the main body 10A.
When the resistor 21 of is connected, Vref2 <Vref1 <
Since it becomes Vi, the outputs of both comparators N1 and N2 both become "L" level. Therefore, the gate N3 is "H"
Since the level and the gate N4 become "L" level, "H" level is given only to the sound generator N5. as a result,
The sound generation circuit 19 generates sound according to the sound signal output from the sound generator N5.

Therefore, a resistor 21 having a different resistance value is provided corresponding to the type of cooking utensil imitated by the separating body 20, for example, a pan or a frying pan, and a different voice corresponding to each resistor, for example, a cooked food. If the sound generators N5 and N6 of the main body 10A are configured so as to generate the sound and the sound of roasted food, the separator 20 is placed on the gas port 11A of the main body 10A to perform a troublesome operation. Without it, the cooking sound suitable for the cooking utensil can be generated.

According to the present embodiment described above, when the separator imitating the cooking utensil is placed on the main body imitating the cooking device, the projection at the bottom of the cooking utensil is aligned with the cutout of the gas port unlike the conventional case. No operation is required, and the operation required to generate sound is simple.

Further, since it is not necessary to provide a cutout at the gas port of the cooking apparatus and to provide a projection corresponding to the cutout at the bottom of the cooking utensil, the cost of parts can be reduced.

In the above embodiment, the case where two kinds of sounds are generated from the operating means 18 is shown, but it is also possible to generate two or more kinds of sounds. That is, the separator 2
If the resistance value Zt of the resistor 21 provided at 0 and the detection voltage level Vi that can be detected and discriminated by the discriminating means 14 of the main body 10A are arbitrarily set, and the types of voices that can be generated by the operating means 18 are increased. The control means 16 can generate various kinds of sounds. Further, it is also optional to set so that no sound is generated (silence) according to the resistance value Zt of the resistor 21.

The resistor 21 provided in the separator 20 can be formed by, for example, applying a resistive paint having a predetermined electric resistivity to the bottom of the separator. In this case, the resistor 21 can be formed only by applying the resistive paint to the separator 20, which is preferable because the processing cost is easy. Further, if the resistance paint of any color is used, the separator 20 can be also used for coloring. Alternatively, the resistor 21 may be formed by sticking a thin plate-shaped resistance material having a predetermined electrical resistivity to the bottom of the separator. Alternatively, the whole or bottom of the separator may be made of a resistance material having a predetermined electric resistivity.

In this embodiment, the discriminating means 14 discriminates the separator based on the voltage drop of the reference resistance RL, but the present invention is not limited to this. Of course, the determination means may determine the separated body based on the current flowing through the resistor 21.

In this embodiment, a simulated play toy imitating a cooking device has been described as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the present invention can be applied to a simulated play toy such as a traveling toy imitating an automobile. That is, a resistor is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the tire of such a simulated play toy (separator), and a contact point is provided on the surface of the running path (main body) that contacts the tire. When the simulated play toy is running and the resistor of the tire comes into contact with the contact point, different driving sounds of the automobile and siren sounds may be generated by the operating means.

Further, in this embodiment, the operating means 18 is the voice generators N5 and N6 and the voice generating circuit 19, but the present invention is not limited to voice generation. The operating means is
In addition to the generation of the above-mentioned sound, at least one operation such as a light emission / flashing operation of a light emitting element such as an LED or a lamp, an ON / OFF operation of a driving source, or a change in driving speed level may be performed.

FIG. 4 is a longitudinal sectional view of a main part showing another embodiment. In the gas port 11A of the main body 10A that imitates a gas table,
A separator 20 simulating a pan is placed, and inside thereof, a pseudo cooked product (movable body) 30 simulating a material to be cooked.
Is placed. The first magnetic body 3 is included in the simulated food 30.
1 is built in.

On the other hand, immediately below the gas port 11A of the main body 10A, a second magnetic body 40 capable of magnetically attracting the first magnetic body 31 is fixed to a rotary shaft of a driving means 41 such as a motor. There is. The second magnetic body 40 is configured such that the N pole portion 40a and the S pole portion 40b are adjacent to each other in the horizontal direction.

Therefore, when power is supplied to the rotary drive source 41 from a power source (not shown) in association with the generation of cooking noise (operation of the operating means), the N pole portion 40a and the S pole portion 40b are provided.
Rotates about a vertical axis. As a result, the suction force of the second magnetic body 40 that acts on the first magnetic body 31 of the dummy cooking object 30 rotates, whereby the dummy cooking object 30 rotates.
Perform motion such as rolling or vibration. That is, it is possible to show that the ingredients are moving by cooking.

When the drive means is a rotary drive source such as a motor, the rotation axis of the magnetic body 40 may be horizontal or inclined by a predetermined angle in addition to being vertical.

Further, the driving means need only move the magnetic body, and is not necessarily a rotary driving source. For example,
The drive means may be one that causes the magnetic body to make a reciprocating motion, a vibration, a swing motion, or the like.

In this embodiment, since the present invention is applied to a simulated play toy imitating a cooking device, the movable body is a simulated cooking toy, but the movable body is not limited to this, and the simulated play toy is used. It can be a thing corresponding to the kind of.

[0051]

As described above in detail, according to the simulated play toy of the present invention, the separator is discriminated by the resistance value of the resistor provided in the separator, so that the protrusion and the notch are not separated. There is no need to install it in. Therefore, it does not cost much,
In addition, it does not require a great deal of trouble when mounting the separation body on the main body. Since the type of operation performed by the operating means can be selected only by the type that can be determined by the resistance value of the resistor, many operations can be performed. Further, when the movable body is moved in association with the operation of the operation means, the playability can be enhanced by the movement of the movable body.
